King is the key creative player in the Scarlets back line
|
Star Llanelli Scarlets centre Regan King will be out for two-to-four weeks with a hamstring injury.
The Kiwi was injured in pre-season training, as was fellow centre Jon Davies (leg) who will miss Friday's season start against Ulster in Belfast.
"These things happen, it gives a chance to the other guys," said coach Nigel Davies, who is likely to turn to Gavin Evans and Rob Higgitt in Ravenhill.
Ex-Scarlet number eight Alix Popham also misses the start of the season.

606: DEBATE
|
The Wales back-rower is expected to be out for around six weeks with the fractured hand he suffered in his new side Brive's clash with Perpignan last week.
The injury news at the Scarlets has taken the edge off their impressive 17-20 friendly win over Wasps at Adams Park.
Flanker Johnathan Edwards left the field with an injury in that game.
